The attack on British political correctness comes nearly a fortnight after the high-profile sentencing in the Scottish city of Glasgow of three 'Asian' Muslim men who horrifically killed a young white man, Kriss Donald, in a racist attack that shocked Scotland and much of the world.

It's about time they started to disapprove of the British habit of using the term "Asian" as a substitute for "muslim".

I recently had a discussion with a (very lefty) friend of mine who now lives in the UK. She told me that a study showed that 10% of young UK muslims approve of honor killing. It turns out that Sikhs, Christians, and Hindus were included in the sample, but she assumed "Asian" meant "Muslim".
